Penthouse on the park

April 15th, 2014 Alpinist

Imagine an apartment block stacked full of Presidential Suites, all overlooking Hyde Park. The lavish Grosvenor House Apartments, which officially opens in April on Park Lane, is promising guests a unique mix of the comfort and services that a hotel might have, with the discretion, space and freedom of your own home, in one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.

With the options of a daily maid, DVD library, Wi-Fi, on-site gym and in-residence dining, it will be a wonder if you ever leave the house – though perhaps the use of an Aston Martin car with each penthouse might persuade you otherwise.

The property is a new venture by Dubai hotel group Jumeirah. A two-bedroom apartment in August will cost roughly ?900 per night; the five-bedroom Penthouse, which is the most sumptuous at over 4,800 square feet, can cost up to ?11,000 for the night.
